These 10 worldwide locales double as hot spots for a singles vacation
At Sea
While cruising has long been regarded as a couples sport, the tides are now turning, with many singles looking to meet their mate on the high seas. Carnival and Royal Caribbean boast a party atmosphere and attract lots of unattached cruisers, while cruise consolidators like VacationsToGo.com host a handful of singles-only voyages throughout the year to destinations like the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Alaska. Though most all cruise ships host singles mixers during the first day or two, special singles vacation theme cruises like these are gaining popularity and are a guarantee for meeting other travelers looking for love. What's more, Norwegian’s new Epic, setting sail in July 2010, will feature the industry’s first studios designed and priced for solo travelers. While single occupancy cabins on other lines are either nonexistent or cost significantly more than doubles, the Epic’s 128 posh staterooms (all with full-size beds) start from just $799 for 7-night itineraries.
